This Batman is Winning Hearts

Sep 10, 2019

Recently pictures of a man dressed as a Batman have gone viral on social media as he was seen helping a three-year-old girl Lydia from her daycare center where she was being bullied. As per the report Lydia’s mom, Erica Calculli told that her daughter returned home with swollen eyes one day and she immediately informed the staff about it. In spite of her complaint, no action was taken so she took to social media to share the story. “I took pictures,” Calculli said. “She told me that ‘a bunch of girls and one boy hit her and a girl threw a shoe at her eye’”.

Since then, the local Batman impersonator walked the little girl to the centre one day to inform her bullies that she was his “best friend” and will always be with her.

“I knelt down next to her and told her she is going to have a great day and she will be just fine,” Batman impersonator Jack Asbury told InsideEdition. Asbury, who works as an EMT in Citrus County believes an ordinary man can become “superhuman even without powers”. “Lydia’s mother and I have been friends for a bit,” Asbury told Yahoo Lifestyle. “I saw her post on Facebook about Lydia having a hard time. I knew she liked superheroes, so I asked if I could walk her to school [as Batman].”

This Batman of Spring Hill also has an official page where he shares all his stories that how he helps out people in tough times.

I made a new friend today. This is Lydia. I was heart broken when I saw her mothers post she was being bullied in...

Lydia’s mother also thanked him for being so kind and helping out her baby.

“A little boy came to Lydia as soon as we walked into school this morning and said, ‘Hi best friend Lydia,’ took her hand, and walked her to class,” Calculli wrote. “Seriously made me cry. Thank you so much for being there for my baby.”
